Outreach
As we connect with people while demonstrating our faith through action, Jordan's Outreach is an activity of providing God's grace to any population who might not have access to these services. As a key component of Outreach, we are providing benevolent assistance at the locations where those in need are gathered; whether it be within Jordan, in our community, or around the world. Through our actions we transform lives, share God's grace, and promote hope in the name of Christ.
WE SUPPORT FAMILY PROMISE OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY
Family Promise
Jordan Lutheran is one of fifteen host congregations with Family Promise of Lehigh Valley (FPLV). FPLV is a non-emergency, 90 day shelter program for families with minor children experiencing situational homelessness. We host up to four families for eight weeks a year at Jordan. For each day that we host - families arrive to Jordan in the FPLV bus (or guests drive personal vehicles) from the Day Center, at 1346 Hamilton Blvd in Allentown. While at Jordan, we feed them dinner, provide fellowship and a warm safe place to sleep. At 6am, the guests take the bus (or personal vehicle) back to the Day Center to start their day. St Joseph the Worker is an important partner in this ministry by providing volunteers, dinners, and gift card (for food).
We committed to host these weeks in 2025 - 03/02, 08/03, 08/10, 11/09, & 11/16.
